How many times I have been to Egypt, but I have never seen a better hotel than Hilton Taba! I must say right away that my review is absolutely positive, critics, relax) We arrived at Taba airport at 5 o'clock in the morning. At that time, only our flight was at the airport, so we passed all the controls and received our luggage in about forty minutes. At the exit, the representative of the tour operator and the bus already met. Almost all the tourists who traveled with us on the bus turned out to be guests of the Hilton. Maybe it was just a young couple going to Movenpick. Upon arrival at the hotel, a metal detector passed - one of our compatriots was extremely unhappy with this, but this did not bother us at all - because the hotel is located almost on the border with Israel, and this fact requires the use of special precautions. I don’t understand those who write about the impoliteness and inattention of the staff - we smiled sweetly at the receptionist, made a couple of compliments to the interior of the hotel, and now, 15 minutes after filling out the necessary documents, we followed the staff helping us with things to our room. It was a luxurious room in the main building with a sea view, a large double bed, a full refrigerator of drinks and a bunch of cosmetics in the bathroom (by the way, the cosmetics were very good). We liked the room immediately and didn't even want to leave. But we decided to go to the beach anyway. Here I don’t even have words - a huge beach, a bunch of free sunbeds and a sea, the beauty of which is simply impossible to describe in a nutshell. Since we brought fins and a mask with a snorkel from our last trip to Sharm el-Sheikh, we were impatient to start exploring the flora and fauna of the underwater world. The coral reefs of the Hilton are something amazing, especially the one in front of the Nelson restaurant 60 meters from the beach. How many different inhabitants of the Red Sea are there - the main thing is to have patience and you will definitely get to know them)) Advice to everyone - do not feed the fish, because many of them are still dangerous. Better to just watch. After a fair amount of swimming and soaking up the sun, we went for breakfast - I must say right away that the food completely satisfied all our needs. Nobody went hungry. As for diversity, if you didn’t have enough of this at the Hilton, then you probably haven’t been to other hotels in Egypt. The only thing, perhaps, was not enough fruit, but this is due to the time of year. The Egyptians have bad alcohol, but this is understandable, since this is a Muslim country. But the hotel has its own dutik, as well as about 50 more shops with relatively inexpensive prices. The room was cleaned every day, they came just at the time when we were on the beach. Towels were also changed every day and various figures were made from them. The price of the issue is a dollar on the table in the room)) Animation is weak, it was fun only for children, for whom a children's club worked and in the evening there was a disco. Outside the territory, the desert and the Sinai mountains are indescribable beauty, but there is nowhere to walk. However, the purpose of our trip was Israel and Jordan, in the immediate vicinity of which we rested. We went for 2 days, managed to visit Petra, Jerusalem, Bethlehem, swim in the Dead Sea and even shop in Israeli duty free, where everything is much cheaper, including Dead Sea cosmetics. We were very satisfied with the trip and the rest in general. . They brought a bunch of photos and unforgettable impressions, which we will probably share until the next trip))
